I'm in the market for a 1911 and while shopping for an SA operator or loaded I found the Emissary marked down to $699/799 depending on the online dealer. As a lefty an ambi safety is a must, and SA seems to have forgotten to add one to this model (I could just add one if it makes $ense). Anyhow why is the Emissary marked down so much? Is there an issue with it, not selling well....or is it something else?

I always liked the look of the Emissary, but it's difficult to find support for with things like holsters and such. |

At $699 it was too good to pass up. https://www.smga.com/springfield-armory/springfield-armory-emissary-1911-black-45-acp-5-barrel-8-rounds-92385 |

Good customer service and a huge selection as well. Even better is their transfers are $10. |
